Lady Gisela (Ji-sell-uh) is described as very beautiful, with pale peach skin and blonde hair, which she usually keeps in intricate updos. Her eyes are ice blue, the same color as her son's eyes. She has a red wound on her shoulder from when [[Keefe Sencen|Keefe]] hit her with a [[Goblin Throwing Stars|goblin throwing star]] after she attacked[[Sophie Elizabeth Foster| Sophie]], [[Keefe Sencen|Keefe]], and [[Silveny]] in [[Book 2: Exile|''Exile'']]. Her name, Gisela, is a form of the name Giselle. This name means "hostage" or "pledge". This could refer to the fact that she pledged her allegiance to the [[Neverseen]]. It could also refer to how she became a hostage to them.

Lady Gisela appears in about the middle of the book, when [[Sophie]] is in London with [[Fitz]] and [[Keefe Sencen|Keefe]], looking for a leaping crystal that Lady Gisela was hiding in the forbidden cities. After discovering it, Lady Gisela shows up with [[Tam Song|Tam,]] and congratulates them for finding the leaping crystal. She also instructs [[Keefe]] to "embrace the change", and mentions his Legacy several times. This causes Sophie to use her full [[Inflictor|inflicting]] and leaves Gisela lying on the ground, twitching.
